Hello all, first post in a while since solidworks closed the good ol forum.

Is there anyway of changing the font size on dimensions on multi sheet drawings? at the moment you set the font in the options and this changes it across all sheets, if yu want to change it on one sheet, you need to select all dimensions then change on that one sheet but that means you end up having to adjust all the dimensions to line up and look neat again. be nice if you could change the size on that one sheet before you start placing dimensions.

Hi @Greg Hynd
You cannot set this for each page from the options, but you can select a dimension and quickly select and set all dimensions with crtl+a and save it as a favorite.

I had a similar problem where I wanted one sheet to be in inches, the other in mm. This doesn't seem to be an option since those settings are document based.

As mentioned above, the document property settings aren't sheet specific. One option that should work fairly well would be to set up Styles for your dimensions. Set one dimension the way you want, set it as a new Style, then you can apply this Style to new or previously placed dimensions.


@SPerman,

You could do the same thing with your situation, with wanting metric on one sheet and Imperial on another one.

ok thanks all, will try setting up a style.

Thanks I have done this and will save loads of time. thanks for the help!
